Our web style

Framework

We recommend the Bootstrap v3 framework.

The Winshuttle style file described on this page does not include the Bootstrap framework, it must be added separately.

CSS

Before you begin, include the following CSS file into your project. Ensure it loads second to last. Your site’s CSS customizations should load last.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www-static.winshuttle.com/css/base.min.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

DOM

For the Winshuttle CSS styles to apply to your content, the HTML DOM must contain these elements in this order.

HTML

<body>

  <div id="wshContainer">

    <header>...</header>

    <div id="wshContent">
      <p>All page body content goes here.</p>
    </div><!--/#wshContent-->

    <div id="wshFooter">...</div>

  </div><!--/#wshContainer-->

</body>

Visual

<body>
<div id="wshContainer">
<header>...</header>
<div id="wshContent">
  All page body content goes here.
</div>

<div id="wshFooter">...</div>
</div><!--/#wshContainer-->
</body>

Style scope

Here are the modifications that you can expect to happen after applying the Winshuttle CSS file.

body: Some global changes, like font family, size, and color are applied to the HTML body.
wshContainer: This outer wrapper is a target for hyperlink styles and anchor actions, H1-H5 sizes and colors, tables, and floated elements.
wshContent: Declarations for body-specific content, such as UL/OL/LI styles, are applied here. All page body content should be here.

Proper classing

Many reusable, focused adjustment classes are provided that alter content in simple, straightforward, consistent ways.
Rather than creating ad-hoc, abstract CSS classes for elements, we apply reusable adjustment classes that can be used on a wide variety of elements. It’s easy to see the changes being made to an element. It also reduces the possibility of duplicate declarations, which helps to ensure stylistic consistency across the property.

Do

HTML

<h2 class="white heavy">Lorem ipsum</p>
<p class="addMarginTop white heavy">Dolor amet</p>

Don’t

HTML

<div class="fancy">
  <h2>Lorem ipsum</p>
  <p>Dolor amet</p>
</div>

CSS

.addMarginTop { margin-top: 2em; }
.white { color: #FFFFFF; }
.heavy { font-weight: 700; }

CSS

.fancy h2 {
  color: #FFFFFF;
  font-weight: 700;
}

.fancy p {
  margin-top: 2em;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  font-weight: 700;
}

It’s clear what each of these classes do.
They can be applied to almost any element in the site.
Simple, non-nested CSS classes are quickly painted by the browser.

The adjustments made by this class are not obvious.
Common adjustments are at risk of being duplicated.
The complex CSS rules increased browser paint time.

Modifier classes

These CSS classes are available for your use. Apply them to your elements to style them as desired.
